US House passes bipartisan bill to make daylight saving time permanent

The U.S. House has voted to make daylight saving time (DST) permanent across the country, moving the nation closer to eliminating the twice-yearly clock changes. The bipartisan Sunshine Protection Act passed with a significant majority, 308-117, reflecting a growing consensus that the traditional switch between standard and daylight time may be outdated. While the bill's fate in the Senate remains unclear, this move highlights a broader discussion about the benefits and drawbacks of DST, including its impact on health, energy use, and daily routines.
